Reviewers praise the McFlurry al pistacchio as a creamy, nutty standout. The overall vibe is nostalgic and satisfying, a simple treat done right.
“I'm trying the new pistachio McFlurry. The cream isn't very sweet, which helps balance the frozen McFlurry and the granella is good, but if I take just the cream alone, I don't like it. For all the hype, it's not even half as good as the Bacio Perugina one or the Smarties one. This pistachio is a bit of a letdown.”
